Great another BS software patent that is obvious

A new patent application filed Thursday by Apple suggests the computing giant is planning to introduce location-aware services tied to the iPhone's App Store virtual application storefront. United States Patent Application 20090063293, entitled Dynamic Presentation of Location-Specific Information, seeks to patent "improved approaches to allow a portable electronic device to dynamically present location-specific information while the portable electronic device is at a predetermined location

How totally obvious is this - I think i'm going to have to move to Europe just to get away from these BS software patents that are absolute crap.

This is going to affect the USA economy and the sooner it is stopped the better.

Interesting how Nokia annoounced their app store is location aware already a few weeks ago.
